Hey, will it be possible to set your character to left hand dominance in the game? that is why i always liked the lack of weapon model in ghost recon, because then it rarely mattered.
And honestly, how hard is it to render characters as left handed and make an option to switch it in the preferences section. Yes, they would have to do a bunch more animations, but the end result would be greatly relistic.

It matters because shooting left handed is what I do. When I play a game that has a model of the weapon on the screen and its right handed, it bothers me all the time because that isn't what I'm used to seeing. Besides, playing in first person is a sort of emulation, simulating what the player would see if he were there himself. And the fact is that I would see a weapon on my left side rather than my right if I were there. It also helps to personalize the playing experience (being able to change it). Most games it isn't actually a problem with, considering that rifles snd pistols tend to gravitate toward the center of the screen rather than the sides. In the end though, it would just be a nice thing to have.

Im left handed, and I really couldn't give a crap. Its not like im holding the gun in real life, or a simulator gun, just a controller with analog sticks.

well, of course you're just holding a controller. Most of the stuff about it being weird is partially filler, but it would be preferable as a customization thing. it would be even better if you could create your own character, but that is unexpected. I will admit though that i usually only find it distracting after I've just been firing my weapons earlier in the day.
